Application filed September 22, 1912a s iai Nb. 136 912;

An'object of my invention is to provide a deck oven in which the various ovens may be maintained at different or. equal temperatures.

Another object is to provide a deck oven" invvhich greater percentage of the heat in the fuel is utilized for useful purposes,

A still further object is to provide a deck oven which issimple in construction and highly eil'ective in operation. M Other OlOJGCiZS, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the s'ubjoined detailed 'descrip tion, in the appended claims or in the operation of my oven.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of my oven. 1

Fig. '2 IS a sectional view taken on line 2, 2 of Fig. 1.

big-'3 1S a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of my oven.

Referring more particularly to the drawmg:

My oven comprises an outer casing or shell 1 which is suitably insulated by any well known and desirable arrangement. A plurality of transverse Walls 2 are provided in the shell 1, said Walls dividing the said shell into a plurality of superposed compartments 3. In the bottom of the oven and below the lowermost compartment 3 is formed a heating chamber 4-, the purpose'of which will be further described.

lVithin each of the compartments 3, I provide ovens 5, the side walls 6, top 7 and bottom 8 of which are spaced from the sides of the compartments 3. Thus a heating space 9, 9 is provided at either side of the oven in which burners 10 are positioned.

Thus it will be seen that each side of each.

oven is directly heated by a burner 10. The hot gases from these burners rise in the heating spaces 9 and pass over the top of the oven in the space 11.

A door 1:2 is provided for each of the compartments 3, each door being provided with a spaced plate 13 thereon, which plate bears against the oven 5 and closes the front thereof. The said plate being spaced from the door provides a passage'throiigh which the hot gases pass from the space 11 above the ovens, to the spacelf below said ovel'is.

. An outlet fine 15 is provided at the rear of my oven, and openings 16 extend'from each of the spaces 14 into said flue; thereby enablmgthe gases to pass outwardly to the air.

v To properly he'afthebottomof the lower most compartment 3, I provide a heating chamber ijin which a baffle plate 17 is positioned. The heat'ed gasesfrom the burners 1Q in the heating chamber l'rise' over the; baffle plate 17, thus heating thebottom of the low'ermos't oven 5. The products of com bustion then pass under the'b'afiie plate 17' andpas's out of the eKhaus'tJport-s 18 into the; fine 15. 1 p It will be evidentfrom the foregoing cons'tru'ction that each of the superposedovens.

5 pan be maintained-either at the saine'or diifer'enttemperatures by reason of thefa'c't that each oveii' 'ha's" its individual burners and is separated-from the adjacent ovens by the dividing Walls 2. Thus it is possible i to operate one while the'other ovens may not used until desired.

Having described my invention, I claim: 1. A deck oven comprising an outer casing, said casing having a plurality of superbe turned off and posed compartments therein, an oven in each or more ovens economically of an oven, a door closing each eompart- I ment, said door having a spaced plate thereon, said plate being adapted to engage and close the front of the'oven.

3. A deck oven comprising an outer casing, said casing having a plurality ofsuperposed compartments therein, an oven in each of said compartments, the walls of said even being spaced from'the Walls of said compartment, burners in said compartment at the sides of the ovens, and eachcompartment having an outlet vent below an oven, a door closing each compartment, sald door having a spaced plate thereon, said" plate being adapted to'engage and close the front of the oven. V

4. A deck oven comprising an. outercasing having a plurality of superposed compartments therein, ovens in said compartments, burners in said compartments at the sides of an oven, and said compartments having an outlet Vent adjacent the bottom of said ovens, a heating compartment below the lowest oven, burners in said heating compartment, said heating compartment having an outlet vent therein.

5. A deck oven comprising an outer casing having a plurality of superposed compartments therein, ovens in said" compart ments, burners in said compartments atthe sides of an oven, and saidcompartments? having an outlet vent ad acent the bottom" of said ovens, a heating compartment'below the lowest oven, burners in said heat-. ing compartment, said heating compartmenthaving an outlet vent therein, and a baflle plate in said heating compartment adapted to direct the heated gases against the bottom of the adjacentf fimpartanent: l

. 6. A deck oven comprising an outer casing, a plurality of superposed compartments in said casing, an oven in each compartment,

the walls of said oven being ijspacedf r'omi the deck oven, each of said compartments having an outlet vent below an oven, extendlng into said flue, a heating compartment below the lowest oven, burners in said heating compartment and a baffle plate in said heating compartment adapted toidirect the heating gases against the bottom of the adjacent compartment.

8. A' deck oven comprising an outer casing, a plurality of superposedcompartments in said casing, an oven in each compartment, the walls of said oven being spaced from the alls ofthe compartment, burners at either side of the oven, a flue at the rear of said deck oven, each of said compartments having an outlet vent below an oven, extending into said flue, a door on each of said compartments, a spaced plate'secured to said door, said spaced plate being adapted to en gage and closethe front of the oven.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.
